So, in your case autotools generates an INSTALL file? That's funny, this
is not the same as the autotools generated one (in fact it is a bit
outdated, but I wrote that to document how to install syslog-ng).

For me automake doesn't generate this file. Why does it for you?

autogen.sh contains:


aclocal
sed -i -e 's/PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG(\[0\.16\])/PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG([0.14])/g' aclocal.m4

autoheader
automake --foreign --add-missing
autoconf


as I understand automake will only be adding the INSTALL file if it doesn't exist.
Are you using -f for automake?
